Elementary PE: Changing for the Better
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper discussing how physical education in elementary school has changed over the years and continues to evolve. Instructors and administrators have finally realized that forcing children to participate in boring and unimaginative, even irrelevant, activities is not conducive to building lifelong commitment to physical activity. Increasing numbers of schools are striving to make their physical education curricula fun so that students want to continue. They are also adding features that better serve the needs of all students, rather than focusing only on those with the greatest natural athletic ability. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Extracurricular Activity's Link to Academic Performance
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page research proposal for conducting a study into the relative value of extracurricular programs in public schools. In these days of ever-tightening budgets and ongoing criticism of the academic records of public schools, the tendency to cut funding for extracurricular activities is stronger than ever. Traditionally, this has been the area of public school funding that has been first in the line of targets for reducing. The argument is that US students perform far below those of other developed nations, and that US schools need to put more emphasis on academics than on associated activities. Other studies find positive correlation between participation in extracurricular activities and increased academic performance, and this one seeks to determine whether such a link truly does exist. Includes one chart. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

High School Athletics And Their Relevancy To The Olympics
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page paper which examines how important high school athletics, and athletic programs, are in training individuals for the Olympics. While most people would assume that high school athletics have little influence on an individuals desire, or ability, to perform in the Olympics, the fact is that an individual who is interested, and capable, of performing well in any athletic capacity will first demonstrate those abilities early in life. Often if the urge or ability is not fed during the early years, especially high school years, then the ability goes unchallenged and the opportunity to succeed in a competition such as the Olympics, is lost forever. High school athletics are essential to the success of Olympic participants. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
